Mascom International stocks the iPad Air 13-inch M3 128GB Wi-Fi Plus Cellular at KSh 124,000, brand new and sealed. This iPad Air 13-inch M3 from Apple connects to 5G and 4G networks through an eSIM, so it stays online wherever your network reaches. It runs the M3 chip with 8GB of memory, 128GB of storage and a 13-inch Liquid Retina display at 2732 by 2048 pixels. The iPad Air 13-inch M3 is on display at our first-floor shop in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can try it before buying.
Built for estate agents, consultants, sales teams and NGO field staff across Kenya, the iPad Air 13-inch M3 keeps large documents and live data in one device. Showing a floor plan or a project budget on a phone screen loses clients halfway through. A laptop needs a hotspot, a desk and a plug. This tablet opens a full-size drawing in seconds, joins Safaricom 5G in towns that have it and falls back to 4G elsewhere. A team lead travelling from Upper Hill to a client in Thika can update shared files without stopping at a café for Wi-Fi.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that hand over a box and leave you to work out eSIM setup alone, Mascom International lets you watch the seal break and helps you add your line on the spot. At Mascom International, we're seeing more buyers choose cellular iPads because phone hotspots drain their handsets before lunch. The iPad Air 13-inch M3 carries a 12-month Apple warranty managed from our Nairobi CBD desk. Walk in Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the iPad Air 13-inch M3
What is the iPad Air 13-inch M3 128GB Wi-Fi Plus Cellular price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the iPad Air 13-inch M3 128GB Wi-Fi Plus Cellular for KSh 124,000, sealed, from our Nairobi CBD store. The price covers the 20W USB-C adapter and charge cable in the box, the 12-month Apple warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. It sits KSh 17,000 above the Wi-Fi Only version at KSh 107,000 and KSh 11,000 above the iPad Air 11-inch M3 128GB Wi-Fi Plus Cellular at KSh 113,000. Pay with M-Pesa, card or cash.
Should I pay KSh 17,000 extra for the cellular iPad Air 13-inch M3 or tether to my phone?
Pay the KSh 17,000 extra if you work away from Wi-Fi most days; tether if you rarely leave the office. The cellular iPad Air 13-inch M3 keeps its own line, so your phone battery and data bundle stay untouched. It also carries built-in GPS for maps and location tracking, which the Wi-Fi Only model lacks. Everything else matches: the M3 chip, 128GB, screen and cameras. Occasional users who travel once a week will find a phone hotspot cheaper and good enough.
Does the iPad Air 13-inch M3 work on Safaricom 5G and Airtel Kenya?
Yes, the iPad Air 13-inch M3 cellular model works on Safaricom and Airtel Kenya, using 5G where it is available and 4G LTE everywhere else. It takes an eSIM only, with no physical SIM tray. Safaricom and Airtel Kenya both issue eSIM profiles at their shops when you bring your ID, and you can keep a data-only line separate from your phone number. Safaricom 5G reaches parts of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret, with 4G across most major roads.
Can I present to clients from the iPad Air 13-inch M3 on a projector or TV?
Yes, the iPad Air 13-inch M3 sends video through its USB-C port, which supports DisplayPort output at up to 10Gb/s. A USB-C to HDMI adapter connects it to most boardroom projectors and hotel TVs. Keynote and PowerPoint show your slides on the big screen while presenter notes stay on the tablet. AirPlay also mirrors the screen wirelessly to an Apple TV or compatible smart TV. Bring your adapter to our store and we will test it with you before you leave.
Is the iPad Air 13-inch M3 a good tool for estate agents and quantity surveyors?
Yes, estate agents and quantity surveyors gain a lot from the iPad Air 13-inch M3, because the 13-inch screen shows whole floor plans and bills of quantities without endless zooming. The cellular line lets you pull listings, send offers and share signed PDFs from a show house in Karen or a site in Athi River. Apple Pencil Pro, sold separately, lets a client sign or mark up a plan right on the glass. The rear 12MP camera records site photos straight into reports.
Can the iPad Air 13-inch M3 handle Zoom and Teams calls on mobile data?
Yes, the iPad Air 13-inch M3 runs Zoom, Teams and Google Meet smoothly over 5G or a strong 4G signal. Its 12MP front camera sits on the landscape edge, so you look at the person on screen while docked in a keyboard. Center Stage keeps you framed as you shift in your seat. Video calls use a lot of data, so pick a bundle that matches your weekly meeting load, and switch to audio only when the signal weakens on the road.
How secure is the iPad Air 13-inch M3 if it is lost or stolen?
The iPad Air 13-inch M3 is hard to misuse once it leaves your hands, thanks to Touch ID, Activation Lock and Find My. Touch ID in the top button keeps your files and banking apps behind your fingerprint. Because the cellular model has GPS and its own data line, Find My can show its location even when no Wi-Fi is nearby. Activation Lock blocks anyone from resetting and reusing it without your Apple Account password, which cuts its resale value to thieves.
Who should choose the iPad Air 13-inch M3 128GB Wi-Fi Plus Cellular, and who should not?
Choose the iPad Air 13-inch M3 128GB Wi-Fi Plus Cellular if you work on the move with large documents, drawings or presentations and want your own data line. Skip it if your tablet stays at home or in one office, because the Wi-Fi Only version saves KSh 17,000. Skip it as well if you want a lighter cellular tablet for one-handed reading; the iPad Air 11-inch M3 128GB Wi-Fi Plus Cellular at KSh 113,000 suits that better.
Technical Specifications
Screen and Viewing

- eSIM only, no SIM tray — add a data line digitally and keep it separate from your phone number.
